In #poor countries the rising #middleclass is discovering that the first thing they want to buy when they can afford to is a #car. From Johannesburg to São Paulo, Bengaluru to Jakarta, the car is increasingly dominant. The fastest-growing #cities all over the world look more like Houstons than like #Amsterdams.
